Ludhiana, August 6

A man allegedly opened fire on his sister and her husband at Panjpeer Road Corporation Colony here late last night. The woman, identified as 22-year-old Sandeep Kaur, received three to four gunshots and died on the spot. Her husband, Ravi, was hit by two bullets and is admitted to DMCH Hospital.

The assailant had concealed his face and was wearing a helmet during the shooting, causing panic in the area. The police were immediately informed about the incident.

Sandeep Kaur’s body was shifted for post-mortem to the Civil Hospital mortuary.

The accused identified as Suraj, a resident of Pratap Singh Wala, has reportedly been rounded up by the police.

Sources said Suraj was angry with Ravi, who had married his sister against the wishes of the family.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
